Changing normal

When you get clean water for the first time, it changes your life in all kinds of ways.

Right now, some of the poorest people in the world don’t have clean water to drink. They don’t have decent toilets or good hygiene. Without these basics, getting out of poverty is just a dream.

But when you help us dig a well, or put up a tap stand, everything changes for children like Lahai.

Today one in nine people still don’t have clean water close to home. But you could help change that – for good.

About WaterAid

We have teams in 34 countries. Together with our partners we transform millions of lives every year. And since 1981, we’ve reached 24.9 million people with clean water.

We started because there was no charity like us. And we’ll end when there’s no more need for a charity like us. We’re determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for every single person. We know it can be done. We’re doing it right now. So join us.
